Heading toward the hydrogen economy
of the country electrolyzing water and pumping it into a national grid. And cynics like the idea of a hydrogen economy because it lets them snicker while pointing out the hurtles that must be cleared to get there. Even now there are several commercially active methods for producing the gas, although

A Closer Look at Hydrogen
improvement in fuel economy is expected to rise to 25%. Ford's P2000 H2ICE meets the SULEV standard because the only carbon-based emissions result from lubricating oil. When will it happen?. If there was enough demand, hydrogen-fueled ICE vehicles could be put into large-scale production within a few years

Hydraulic hybrids boost fuel economy
Whalley and, as a result, the company is actively investigating alternative vehicle-propulsion systems such as hydrogen fuel cells, liquified natural gas, propane, and electric power. One groundbreaking project to boost fuel economy involves hydraulic-hybrid technology. The company teamed with Eaton Corp
